Stage Audio Works has supplied Durban-based technical provider GudSound with a d&b audiotechnik V-Series line array system for high-performance live sound events across South Africa.
This marks GudSound’s first investment in d&b, adding a rider-friendly, scalable platform to its inventory. The V-Series configuration supports precise coverage control, high SPL capability, and extended low-frequency performance, making it suitable for both large-format outdoor events and controlled indoor productions.
‘For us at GudSound, investing in a d&b audiotechnik sound system through Stage Audio Works is about much more than just adding new equipment to our inventory,’ says GudSound CEO, Leepy Shabangu. ‘It represents the next step in our journey as a company and our commitment to raising the standard of production we deliver to our clients.’
According to GudSound, the investment is driven by increasing demand for globally specified systems on technical riders, as well as the need for higher consistency and control across diverse events. It comprises 20 V8 and four V12 line array elements, 16 B22 subwoofers, and eight D40 amplifiers. It includes Stage Plus cabling, flightcases, and integrated power distribution, enabling efficient transport, fast deployment, and consistent system integrity in demanding environments.
The V8/V12 combination supports flexible array design for differing audience requirements, with D40 amplification providing system processing, load monitoring, and efficiency at scale. The system is already ready for use across major Durban events, including Durban July, alongside music and lifestyle productions such as Bread4Soul Sessions, Saso’s House and Pianocast.
